Jill Sobule, the pop artist known for songs like 'I Kissed a Girl' and 'Supermodel' has died in a house fire. She was 66.
“Jill Sobule was a force of nature and human rights advocate whose music is woven into our culture,” her manager John Porter said in a statement shared with Rolling Stone. Sobule became popular for her self-titled second album in 1995, which featured the lesbian anthem ‘I Kissed a Girl’, the first gay-themed song to make it to the Billboard Top 20, and the bop ‘Supermodel’, which appeared that year in the seminal teen film Clueless. Sobule’s death comes ahead of the June 6 release of the original cast recording for her 2023 Off-Broadway musical memoir F*ck7thGrade, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of her self-titled album.
